Kamel restaurant is an oasis nestled in the bayside suburb of Albert Park, serving Middle Eastern and North African inspired mezze dishes.

An intimate space with an ambient atmosphere Kamel makes the perfect choice for any occasion. A long mezze selection of dishes means you can choose any number of combinations every time you visit. Fresh seasonal dishes run alongside Kamel’s signature dishes, enhanced weekly by a specials board using the best produce Melbourne suppliers have to offer.

Kamel’s wine list supports Australia’s fantastic independent winemakers. These are both known and undiscovered gems that will compliment your meal. Many of the wines are available by the glass. You can enjoy a tantalizing cocktail or select a beer from the Australian and imported range.

Breakfast & Lunch in Albert Park is a weekend necessity and Kamel is a long standing institution in both. Professional & friendly staff will supply you with fantastic coffee and the relaxed atmosphere will make you want to stay all day. Laze away your weekend al fresco style by people watching on Victoria Avenue. Otherwise stay tucked away in the calm and cool of the courtyard or get cosy by the fireplace.

If you need to share your experience with friends there are private dining rooms available. Please refer to the functions page or call us directly on 9696 1386.
 

Our mezze dishes are all designed to share. The size of the dishes can be increased to suit the number of guests. Or simply choose one of the banquet menus (min 4 people) and leave it up to us.

Some of the dishes can be re-worked by the chefs to suit guests with different dietary requirements or contact the restaurant directly for more information. We have many vegetarian options and a Gluten Free menu available.

For groups of 10 or more guests there are 2 menu groups to choose from the Fixed Banquet or Create Your Own menu. These menus are to be confirmed prior to your function.

Please visit our menu page for a complete list of dishes and beverages.

"In Arabic mezze means 'to savour in little bites', and Kamel cherry-picks the very best Mediterranean-rim flavours for it's "I'll-have-one-of-everything-please' menu... Chunky fritters of zucchini, corn, feta and chickpea flour are satisfying in the extreme, but the pistacio-crumber goat's cheese served with fig paste and herby Turkish bread is a show-stopper..."
The Age: Cheap Eats Guide 2011

"Vegetarians, you won't be a meal loser at Kamel.  Dolmades, Moroccan pumpkin and spring onion puffs with smoked paprika relish, tabbouleh with pomegranate dressing, fleshy field mushrooms with feta, and more. It's good vego, and plenty of it."
